A Call For Reviewable Kids’ Books

I start graduate school today, so I don’t have a whole lot of time to blog. But I have a quick announcement/request I want to make:

I will begin reviewing a book a week on here starting next Monday.

If you would like your book reviewed, email me with the following information:

Your name.

Your pen name (if applicable).

The title of your book.

The genre of your book.

A short synopsis, no longer than two paragraphs.

My email address is morganmarshallliterary@yahoo.com.

I will chose the books that interest me from the emails I receive. If I chose yours, I will reply with a request for you to send a me a review copy and the address where you should send it. I will read and review each title as I receive them, so if you get a request and wish a review as soon as possible, send it to me right away.

Here are the requirements:

Your book must be published. I would like to let my readers know where to buy your book, and if it’s not purchasable, this is not possible. That said, I will accept self-published books, of course.

Your book must be a children’s book. Middle grade adventures and genre fiction would be best, but I will consider picture books and YA as well. For picture books, I will filter them though my own children for the best opinions straight from the horse’s mouth.

You need to be able to send a copy to me at your own expense. I will return the copy if requested, though I would also love to keep them. If you wish to sign your book, that would be awesome but not required. In case you’re wondering why you should bother sending me a review copy at all, I welcome you to read about me and decide for yourself if you feel I am worthy to review your work.

My review will include a private e-mailed critique only if requested.

Please know that my reviews will be 100% honest. The last thing I want to do is recommend a book to my readers that is of poor quality. That said, I will write the review in a way that is sensitive to your feelings and will include positives in every review I post. If, in the sad event I can’t find anything positive to say, I will email you a private critique instead.

That is all. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post them here. Thank you, and I’ll blog at you again soon!
